The Green Bay Packers selected wide receiver Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall pick in Thursday's NFL Draft, sending the locals into an absolute frenzy.

Matthew Golden was well aware that the Green Bay Packers hadn’t selected a wide receiver in the first round since 2002. But that didn’t shake his confidence.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had nothing but good things to say about the work ethic, athleticism, hands, playstyle and personality of wide receiver Matthew Golden, who was selected No. 23 overall by the Green Bay Packers during Thursday night's first round in Green Bay.
